Straight Until Him
I was stripped bare; humiliated, broken, bleeding where no one could see.
And Micah was still here.
Dangerous. Infuriating. And somehow, the only steady thing left.
I turned away, dragging air into my lungs. It burned. My jaw clenched so hard it ached.
“I can’t…” My voice cracked. “I can’t hear any more.”
Micah’s reply was quiet, but sharp enough to slice through my protest.
“You don’t believe me?”
I froze.
When I turned, he was already pulling his phone from his pocket. His thumb swiped the screen, his eyes never leaving mine.
